The challenge this week is to tangle a tile or a Zentangle Inspired Art-piece in fifteen minutes. That means we must draw the dots, border, string, tangles and shading - all in fifteen minutes.
So like others, I set the timer for 15 minutes... and sat down to tangle. Oy vey. Under normal conditions, I am the s-l-o-w-e-s-t tangler on the planet. Dots, border and strings were easy enough.... and took no time at all. Now to draw the tangles. (Yes, I did pre-plan a few tangle-pattern-options..... thank goodness!)
Knowing that I had a 'time limit' was very disconcerting. Did not feel right. I have never had to rush through a tangle... or a Zentangle. My tangling experiences have always been enjoyable and calming and relaxing.
I'm not overjoyed with the results, but each experience is a lesson learned.
I am grateful that I was taught the traditional Zentangle method of creating patterns. I do appreciate how the real-deal has helped me to better recognize when my mind, body and spirit need a bit of pampering.
Later, I will relax and draw a Zentangle using the official Zentangle method. Thanks, Maria & Rick.
Happy tangling.
